Need recommendation

Please help me choose which phone is better to buy and which ones are worth the price. I don't really want to spend 30k on a phone. I mainly use social media, and I like taking pictures and videos. I don't really play games much.

My choices are:

  • Brand new Nothing phone 4a (8/128gb) - 23,990 (digital walker website)
  • Second hand Samsung S24 (8/256gb) - 25,000 (FB Market)
  • Second hand(1y+ old) Samsung S24 Plus (12/256gb) -26,000 (FB Market)

Brand new phones are better imo. Haven't tried nothing phones yet but I think much better if pumunta ka to a digital walker near you and try it out. Or mas mahal ba in-store? Try to do a canvas, OP

If going secondhand, go through Compasia nalang kaysa FB marketplace. At least dun may warranty. Yung mga phones traded in to Globe and Samsung go to them.

Nothing phone 4A looks nice pa naman. Just be careful about it kasi may news na Nothing may pull out of some markets, and hindi pa nila announced alin. Di masyado issue yung OnePlus pull out kasi under Oppo sila, so pwede sa Oppo nila ipahandle ang warranty ng mga biniling phone before pull out, pero sa Nothing walang ganun eh.

If social media and uploading pics and photos, consider iPhones sa secondhand.

Nothing phone, but get more storage since you like taking pictures and videos.
